'The growing and alarming toll that the fentanyl epidemic is taking on communities across this country has the makings of an explosive and potentially ugly election-year brawl' More from danschnur on our Perspectives blog:
Florida governor Ron DeSantis traveled to Japan, South Korea, Israel and Great Britain last week, ostensibly to drum up international trade opportunities for his state but primarily to burnish his foreign policy credentials in advance of his likely presidential campaign.
We know that foreign policy rarely makes much of a difference in a presidential campaign. But as the war in Ukraine rages, as China’s behavior becomes noticeably more menacing, as North Korea and Iran become even more belligerent, it would seem logical that some of these issues might move to the forefront. But Ukraine is now background noise to most Americans and while China is increasingly seen as a threat to the U.S.
For many politicians and their constituents, fentanyl is a topic for domestic policy discussion, touching on public safety, health and societal concerns. But Trump has already begun talking about the possibility of deploying the American military to directly confront the drug cartels south of the border that process and traffic fentanyl, and several other Republican leaders have offered similar suggestions.
This could end up being a very effective messaging tool for Republicans next year. While both China and Russia represent immense challenges to democracy, global security and a cooperative international order , the border crisis is much closer, much more tangible and seemingly much more directly relevant to the lives of most voters.
